Every week, we bring you the 1.01 gubbings on Betfair, as players and teams complete Lazarus-style comebacks or simply take advantage of chokes of monstrous proportions as their opponents struggle to cross the finishing line.

Carnage in Beijing

The Olympics got under way with an opening ceremony we’ll be telling our grandchildren about. No doubt we’ll also pop in a deserved mention for the first 1.01 gubbing of the games, as South Korea came back from the dead to beat Russia in the women’s handball.

Russia - the world’s no. 1 side - led 16-13 at half-time, before extending their lead to 26-17 in the 43rd minute. Incredibly, South Korea fought back to score nine unanswered goals to level the score at 26-26. With one minute remaining, Russia snatched a one point lead and South Korea’s valiant comeback looked to be in vain. However, Park Chung-hee scored a final minute goal to seal a thrilling tie.
